TK 5k

The TK 5K is an annual running event held in Fernandina Beach, Florida, hosted by the Friends of Fernandina Skate Park in memory of Terry Kelly. The race course resembles the Shrimp Festival Run route, with the final 100 yards symbolically retracing the steps Terry took before his tragic heart attack. The event features a 5K and a 1-mile option, including virtual participation.

Awards are uniquely crafted from retired skateboard wood, with overall winners receiving actual skateboards. The race promotes a zero-waste strategy and supports youth through the skate park’s Boards for Boarders program. It precedes the Terry Kelly Skate Festival at the local skate park, home to Olympian Poe Pinson. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
